(Photo above from r.) CTA educators Don Bridge, Deborah
Adams, and Mary Jan Roberts learn during a Tuesday meeting with Sen. Correa’s
chief of staff, Amy Jenkins, that the senator is not only supporting the
CTA-backed measure, but he’s also agreed to sign onto the bill as a principal
co-author.

A team of CTA members was in the state Capitol on Tuesday
meeting with legislators and legislative staff in support of a measure backed by
CTA and EdVoice that would protect students by streamlining the dismissal
process for certificated employees who have been charged with egregious
misconduct, including specific drug crimes, child abuse and sexual misconduct.
